Looks from you profile avatar that they are pretty darn close in color (as seen from the outside looking at them). Can you tell me if they color shone on the road (as seen from the cockpit) is closer to the whiteness shone by the 6000k hid fogs?

Its perfect match. =) as long as its 6000k temp, you'll be fine.

Thanks AKALius! Anybody have any pictures of 6000k xenons, 6000k hid fogs and 6000k led angel eyes on at the same time as viewed from the outside? Just want to see how close the color match is as seen from the outside.
This pic is of 6000K D2S bulbs. It was taken off of myfootsmells thread. Not sure if the angel eyes and fogs are 6000k but I think they are. Maybe myfootsmells can confirm.
